On September 16 (Thursday), Grease star Eddie Deezen was arrested at a Maryland restaurant. It was reported that the actor refused to leave the restaurant premises when asked and caused a ruckus there.

According to TMZ’s report, Eddie Deezen, who was best known for playing Eugene Felsnic in the 1978 film Grease, was apprehended at the LaVale, Md. diner establishment. He allegedly caused a scene and assaulted a deputy while evading arrest.

The police report obtained by TMZ mentioned that the 64-year-old did not comply with the cops and the restaurant’s requests. Eddie Deezen instead attempted to hide behind a woman sitting in a booth when police showed up. This caused them to forcibly remove the actor.

Previous incident:

On June 22, Kara Lashbaugh, a waitress from Maryland, took to Twitter to narrate her being harassed by Eddie Deezen. According to her tweet, Eddie would visit her restaurant and ask her colleagues about her work schedule.

Deezen would also proceed to leave if he found Kara not wearing makeup to his liking. Kara Lashbaugh also mentioned that Eddie Deezen would come to the eatery at least once a week.

In a Facebook post that has since been deleted, Eddie Deezen wrote,

“This girl would wear these long false eyelashes, and she looked incredibly beautiful and s**y with them.”

Deezen went on to compare how the ladies would react,

“If there was a waiter who looked like Brad Pitt, or George Clooney, or Ryan Gosling. You would go in to eat, chat, and get some eye candy. Right?”

Following Kara’s tweets, Deezen alleged that Kara was cyberbullying him in another Facebook post (which has since been deleted). He called her an “attention wh*re,” and alleged that she had been spreading “nasty vile rumours” about him.

However, in the same post where he joked about how Kara’s initials could have been “KKK”, referring to the racist group Ku Klux Klan, Eddie Deezen also apologized for his behaviour.

He wrote,

“I required this girl to wear false eyelashes, I made her feel objectified, cheap, not human. I deeply regret my actions. They were thoughtless and immature.”
